They Tell the Business den They are Sorry
30 Stop the Wheels Of Commerce.
NEW YORK, Feb G.--The five mass
meetings which were to be held to-day
in conformity with the mandate of tae
District Assembly, Knights of Labor. Goa
sisting of the striking Iongshoremen and
coal shovelers, failed 10 materialiZe to
any large extent. Every precaution was
taken by the police to suppress
any riotous demonstration. These
precautions, however, were unnecessary
as the meetings were SHINY attended
owing to the extremely cold weather pre-
vailing. ABOUT 400 were present at the
Union Square meeting. John McKenna
Of the Ocean Association said the sisters
of the orphan asylum had wired to them
saying the children were suffering
from cold, from lack Of coal.
They had been asked to send coal
to the asylum, but could not do it, He
had referred the sisters TO the corpora
ton which had full control of the coal.
He then demanded to know why the sis
tiers did not apply to the priests to go and
get the coal. He declared that the priests
dared not protest against the corpora
tons or they would be crushed in the
same manner as DR.. McGlynn was.
John r Archibald said 1t was no mere
protest from the coal handlers, but pro-
test went up from united labor through
out the Union.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing
the o0stinacy of the coal companies in re-
fusing the modest demands OF the
strikers, and declaring the power of cor
porations to be inimicable to the
welfare of the state and nation,
also expressing symatby with the
business men in their present incon-
venlence through their inability to
ship goods and representing tAat the
strikers were forced to their present
course, and finally calling upon the busi-
ness men to organize an exchange which
would be far from the influences OF cor
9oTations.
Small meetings st which speeches of
similar nature were made were held ST

An Old City of Granite in Ceylon.
F,ou MnemiIInn's Mn0nzine.

Some slight idea of the size of ancient
Anuradhapura may be gathered from the
fact that the ruins at present disclosed eX-
tend for a distance of at least four miles
from north to south, by about two and a
half from east TO west, the whole of the
space inclosed being covered with remains,
while it is becoming more apparent every
day that these fictitious boundaries by no
means represent the former limits of the
city. Whether the gigantic measurements
ascribed to it in the "Mahawanso' will ever
be verified, must, for the present. remain an
open question, as it will take a considerable
time to trace the various connections be-
tween the extreme limits to which the city
reached The work already done, however
has made clear one or two important points.
1t is quite evident that all the secular build
ings, palaces. and private dwellings were in
the northwestern quarter of the town; that
the other three-quarters were entirely
covered with temples, monasteries, statues,
relic shrines, dd0obas, and various other
ecclesiastical erections; that there was a
great street running from the secular
quarter right through the sacred rart of the
town toward and probably up to) the
sacred mountain of Mihiatate, eight miles
to the eastward, and that the ecclesiastical
section of the town was pierced by several
cross streets, two of which are now being
completely unearthed end partially re-
stored This entirely agrees with the most
authentic account we have from an eye
witness of ancient Anuradhapura-the de
scription given b. the Chinese traveller. Fa
Han, in the early part of the fifth century
of our era. One detail in his description
has been curiously and exactly verified
After speaking Of the gigantic monuments
erected in honor of Buddha, and of the gems
and gold that adorned his statues, and des-
ciibing the Bo-tree (our great and illustrious
soveign Lord, the Sacred Bo-tree, as its
